An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

INFANTS KIDNAPPED & LEFT TO DIE - STOP THE GENOCIDE

Every single day becomes the new worst day. The first thing I do when I wake up is check the news, hoping beyond hope there is a ceasefire. The last thing I do before I go to bed is check the news with dimming hope and a plea to God - please make these horrors end. I remember the buzzword used to justify the last series of genocidal wars our country raised - "the war on terror". I didn't know at the time what true terrorism felt like until the barbaric acceleration of Israel's genocide, ethnic cleansing, and terror campaign. I live in constant fear. Never before in my life has advocating for human rights meant the potential loss of my job, ruined reputation, marked as an espouser of hate speech - this is what terrorism looks like, and you are it's enabler, cosigner, and apologist. On New Years' Day I heard about the Israeli solider that kidnapped an infant from Gaza after Israeli airstrikes murdered her family. I wonder what her fate is - did they snuff out her small life after using her as a new iteration of propaganda that Israel has "the most moral army in the world"? I think about the NICU babies that same "army" left to die torturously of starvation and exposure, alone and without comfort. I demand that you:  - Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank, and all areas the Israeli military is murdering or otherwise violating the human rights of Palestinians - Call for the immediate end of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom, peace, and their human rights - Call for the immediate release of Palestinian “prisoners” (hostages) held captive in Israeli military prisons - Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing Leahy Law - Reallocate all funds given to Israel to ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of - Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws - Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet - Stop the militarization of our police by ending all cross-training done with the Israeli military, ceasing the construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, and all other ways this is accomplished - Pass legislation that prohibits any governmental action that would target any ethnic, religious, or other minority group (including Palestinians), either in the U.S. or abroad, by restricting humanitarian or financial aid, infringing on their human rights, or other actions that would otherwise bring harm or cause undue burdens on said groups
